have any of you guys seen Malice's video blogs (from Clipse)?

dude is on another level
http://vimeo.com/4480478

[Rams]

ah so you're one of those proactive undergrads that seeks out research opportunities with cool profs. good call. i'd have to say the coolest thing i did in my undergrad was some computation fluid dynamic analysis applied to anatomy. biomedical is where it's at right now.

I'm a grad student, finished my undergrad in 3 years. And this is just for a class, but it is part of my partner's doctorate thesis.

Almost got into a fight at the gym tonight. Some asian kiddies didn't like the way I was playing the post. Unfortunately cooler heads prevailed.

[kingsoby1]

grad school is a good place to be right now... kinda wish i did that instead of starting work back in 07. also wish i had the opportunity to go take generals in highschool like all you cats that cut a year off college... AP courses were stupid as hell. your partner has a cool thesis though, i'd like to read some of that shii if possible.

someone smacked into my rear bumper today and i yelled "f*cking idiot" in my car... the windows were down though, and everyone in the crosswalk heard. stupid female 3rd-world-immigrant drivers

[illmitch]

i did AP classes but i plan on doing the full four years....im on a scholarship, and i want to get the most out of college.

[kingsoby1]

overrated. 2.5/5

[Rams]

I didn't have many AP credits. Just got really depressed and took my mind off of it doing classes, playing music, and working out.

I like to yell at people for being dumbasses while I am driving, but it doesn't really get to me.

[kingsoby1]

i didn't do anything in college besides stuff i shouldn't have and girls. but whatever. i somehow finagled a degree from the Aero eng dept in the end.

[niobium]

i was a history major until i decided hip-hop was more important

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

ya, i'm really into brazillian stuff... such a unique sound and rich history. been diving into the tropicalia artists lately... Tom Ze, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, blablabla. should be some nice sampling material one day when i actually start making stuff. need to get into some eastern stuff now...
oh cool, i haven't the time but i tried a bit i have azymuth's discography and i dig that samba groove shi it's like jazz syncopation meets hip hop and the sounds are so invigorating

have now 'finished' 7 tracks, im gonna add a rar inside the rar of even older unfinished tunes, other than the main bulk which were from the past week or two

[horseypie]

Mechanical Engineering.

frig thats full on, but sounds heaps cool
im doing second year mech eng at the moment

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

finally done this beat tape/album/mixtape/double album
took almost 10 hours to organize, mix almost every track
first thing i've made to show people gonna post today

[Room13]

bossa nova >>>> samba

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

jobims a bitch

[ATM]

[Rams]

So I have a given element, g of SE(3), and a vector field V:SE(3) -> T SE(3), how do I prove that V is left-invariant and right-invariant? Do I just make a generic element, h of SE(3), and show that gV(h) = V(gh) and V(h)g = V(hg)? I was told I could do g/V for right invariance and V/g for left invariance, but that makes no sense since V is a singular matrix so what the ****?

[Rams]

I figured it out, thanks for the help jerks. Take g to be the inverse of h, so you are finding the velocity element of the identity. It doesn't work for left-invariance but does for right.

[horseypie]

lol nice

dan le sac just put out a new mixtape

yeah, but this is the hip-hop forum.

yeah, just barely got through it... it's so terrible.

[kingsoby1]

jay stay paid leaked

[ExquisiteGhost]

sweet too bad i have to seed on waffles

i uploaded 4 azymuth albums a week ago and no one yet has downloaded...

[SgtPrimus]

Yea, I'm gonna get banned as soon as I hit 5 gigs cause my connection has never really worked with torrents. I stopped downloading cause I don't want Amit to get in trouble by me getting banned.

[Amit]

haha you won't get me in trouble by getting banned; you just can't get invited in again

i'd just stay underneath the 5 gig limit and just ask me what you want to download and i'll upload it for you so you can reseed it

[SgtPrimus]

Ok, I wasn't sure cause thats how I remember it working with oink.

Sounds good man, thanks.

[ATM]

Couple of sweet shows coming up. I'm seeing Blueprint on Wednesday, freestyle cypher on Thursday, Enoch the Prophet's release party on Saturday.

[Gattsu347]

I made a short with a beat not of my own. sort of a try out. tell me what you think:
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7648513

[Iai]

How much do you have to upload to not get banned after 5gigs on Waffles? Isn't it like, 500MB or something stupid?

Just upload one fairly major classical work in FLAC (rent a CD from a library), that's sort you out even if only one person downloads it. That's all I've done, really, and it's got me up to 9GB uploaded.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've gradually uploaded about a gig on waffles, mostly due to getting a Flaming Lips album on there early (much love to Amit for the invite). I've got 6gb credited to me though, early on they added 5gb to new users' upload credit and I got lucky.

[Iai]

Yeah I grabbed a Slipknot album because somebody told me it was a goldmine, and they were right - 1/3 of all my uploading comes from that one record.

[ATM]

Haha that's weird. That many people download Slipknot?

[Amit]

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

i had like 25 GB uploaded to waffles and then they ban me a few days days later for them not liking my posting on the forum hell why didn't they just permanently suspend my forum privileges, i was a perfectly fine and obviously contributing user other than that, the punishment certainly didn't fit the crime.


edit and they banned me and aria and amit but ****ing amit gets back on and we're kicked off pretty much just because we post on another music forum, mx

i've stopped using waffles for the most part. what is superior in pretty much every way, and the forums don't completely suck like they do on waffles.

[niobium]

both forums seem lame
what has the sheer volume, not to mention the layout is friendly
i keep having major ****ing port forwarding hassles so i'll keep trying on that

anyone check the new Mos Def? I doubt it's any good, but surprisingly I'm hearing otherwise.

[SgtPrimus]

I found Sp-404 on ebay for $320, it is gonna get here Friday. They are shipping from Atlanta, so I emailed them asking if I could pick it up but they only allow pick up for over 200lbs.

haven't had time yet, but i'm hearing there's some sick production on there from Madlib, Oh No, and Dilla. sounds really promising... here's to hoping for a black on both sides pt2.

[SgtPrimus]

Good interview with Madlib here:

idk i thought it was pretty bad i eventually tuned out

Nevermind, I'm kind of digging it now. It's a little disjointed and out of focus but at least it's not True Magic.

[Iai]

The more time goes on the more I think I'm the only person who prefers their debut.

[ATM]

Organized Konfusion is reuniting in New Jersey.

When and where?

[niobium]

i still have to listen to the debut if that makes it any better

[pixiesfanyo]

When and where?

i think All Points West?

the day they're playing its like Beastie Boys, Pharcyde, Q-Tip, Flylo, and the other days are less hip-hop so i'd say just go to the one with Organized Konfusion.

[Iai]

Just Googled it, that whole festival looks pretty good actually. I'd go if I was near it.

[We_Love_Lime]

have you noticed that Jay Stay Paid uses the same recycled siren and lazer noises :p ?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

haven't got jay stay paid yet, but it's probably because they're beats that didn't make it onto donuts or were done at the same time.

[We_Love_Lime]

Weak

[SgtPrimus]

Those seemed to be used as sort of a trademark for his beats made in the past couple of years. Madlib uses the siren in the latest beat konducta.

[pixiesfanyo]

The siren and lasers are all Dilla.

A_Raids you gotta get it, probably the best rap album of '09 so far.

[SgtPrimus]

Madlib uses them cause the album is a tribute

[honourosis]

yeah JSP is pretty damn good

[Txus]

24K rap is so good

Oh and UGK is perfect summer music.

For being, you know, so highly praised.

Animal noises.
That'd be tight.

very madlib/dilla/flylo influenced, really good.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Weak
it's a posthumously released compilation so this sort of thing is to be expected

Let me call him up and tell him.
lol

A_Raids you gotta get it, probably the best rap album of '09 so far.
oh yeah, definitely getting it in the near future.

[Jawaharal]

been listening to lots of Em lately. Ya, post Eminem Show **** basically sucks, but god he used to ****ing bring it. Marhsall Mathers LP is classic, listening to it brings back memories of grade school =)

[kingsoby1]

Double Barrel is really good.

I really dug it the first week I listened... but it wears pretty quickly.

Most of the beats are pretty derivative. it's definitely a step in the right direction for new york hardcore ****, but it's not going to make an appearance in my overall year end list.

[Rams]

My issue with it is the other way, I think Torae gets boring after a while. I really like Polo's beats and think he's been consistently making the best lately.

There hasn't really been anything too notable this year.

[kingsoby1]

I agree about Torae; he benefits largely from Polo's production for sure. This is definitely some of the best stuff to come out of NY for years... I'm only saying it should have happened like 8 years ago. In 2001, this would have been a near classic.

My favorite records of the year for the genre are Mos Def and De La Soul tbh.

[ATM]

I need to give the new Mos Def a solid listen. I've never been able to really like him.

I've been all wrapped up in Project Pat and Jay Stay Paid.

[We_Love_Lime]

you don't really understand

it's a motif that gives context and also it's symbolic plus sort of wacky

And annoying, but I suppose I can understand.

[Iai]

The new Mos Def is astonishingly good.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

And annoying, but I suppose I can understand.

Anyone like the new Doom Album?

[We_Love_Lime]

Born Like This?
It's garbage

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I like it. Not his best but it's pretty solid.

[HighandDriving]

Ya def not his best but I really like it.

[kingsoby1]

born like this is solid

[Txus]

Pretty good album

That's that is one of his best songs tbh.

[illmitch]

i didnt like it at all the first time i listened to it

the second time around i could appreciate it a little bit but its still not even close to favorite rap album of 09

[horseypie]

i downloaded it but havent really listened to it
i still have to give operation: doomsday some time to get into it
i love mm...food and vaudeville villain though

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

Born Like This?

[sonictheplumber]

not mine

[Apocalyptic Raids]

That's that is one of his best songs tbh.
I didn't really like that one. Maybe my expectations were high because I heard some hype about it but it does nothing for me.

[We_Love_Lime]

thanks for your terrible opinion.

it really means something

Lol.
He asked me if I liked it, and I told him it was garbage.

It really missed a standout track. I liked the couple singles that leaked, but as an album, it was incredibly...disappointing.
I just couldn't get into it like I could his others.
Probably because of his silly name change.

[(*The Noonward Race*)]

Probably because of his silly name change.oh that makes your opinion even more meaningful lol

not to be so harsh but yeah

[kingsoby1]

come on chillun calm down

[We_Love_Lime]

oh that makes your opinion even more meaningful lol

not to be so harsh but yeah

:p
It's all good.
I deserve it, non?

The most recent stuff I liked of MF Doom was off of Jake One's newest album.
White Van Music?
I thought it was really worthwhile.

dude rams that's a great story and pic

one time i was walking down a quiet residential street to my friend's house at night. guy driving down the wrong side of the road hits a parked car head on, parked car steers backwards across the street and crashes into a tree on the side i'm walking on while the offending car stalls out for a bit before speeding off. everyone within a 10 house radius runs outside and havoc breaks out. when i got to my friend's house about 5 minutes later the assailant was parked next door with a noticeably steaming hood. was about 30 feet away from the crash

[EightMilesHigh]

In January my dad was driving me home from visiting a friend downtown, and it was around midnight. We turn into a residential district where we live, and we see this car coming towards us really really fast in the wrong lane, and we swerve out of the way and just avoid it, only it clips our rearview mirror with this really loud BANG. We both stop in the middle of the right and this East Indian guy comes out of the front seat, staggering, and is like "wut ees wrong mistah" and my dad is like "You hit us!" and he's like "I see naaaatheeen" and they talk for a bit and my dad's like "Have you been drinking?" and he's like "Yes, Yes, I am berry berry drunk, I have had menny menny beerz" and his friend is passed out in the back seat. Eventually my dad phoned the police and they picked him. It was scary because my dad has osteo-arthritis and was in a wheelchair at the time. Then my friend picked me up and we went to his house and watched The Last Samurai. Crazy movie, that.

new Busdriver is really good.

[pixiesfanyo]

yeah, mos def's new one is crazy.

[We_Love_Lime]

yeah, mos def's new one is crazy.

I agree.
I kind of dig the Arabic and Brazilian, or I guess "world music" influence within the instrumentals.

[pixiesfanyo]

lol. you mean Madlib and Oh No doing the beats?

[We_Love_Lime]

It seems as if most of the instrumentals that I liked were evidently done by them.
So I suppose yeah.

I guess the rest of the album isn't like that, but the first couple songs fit the trend :p

[pixiesfanyo]

they're all from their beat tapes. none of the beats on it are even that new.

[We_Love_Lime]

Ahhh
I got it.

I only have two of Oh No's, but none of the Beat Konductas?
Conductas?
Conductors.

Which one is the super middle-eastern one that Oh No did?

[pixiesfanyo]

Oxperiment.

[We_Love_Lime]

Ahh that's right.
Does anyone have a rapidshare or something for the Oh No's Exodus album? I don't seem to have that, but I have his other 2
Thanks.

[EightMilesHigh]

Has anyone heard anything about D.O.A., the new Jay-Z album? I have most of his albums I need to know if it's a buy in store album or a download album.

hahaha

wait what

[SgtPrimus]

Now the album got pushed back and my friend who likes him says he hasn't written on his blog in awhile. Supposedly he normally writes something on it every day.

[jrowa001]

is Wale worth getting? my friend has been telling me Wale is some of the best hip hop hes heard

[illmitch]

wale is decent but he gets way hyped up because hes a lyrical rapper. if hes some of the best hip hop your friend has heard, your friend needs to find some new rappers

[Amit]

yeah your friend don't know ****

[niobium]

this my jam

[kingsoby1]

it's summer, i'd rather do stuff than use the internet.

i haven't played video games for 2 months, used a computer for more than 30 mins a day, or used AIM for 2 months.

[illmitch]

ive just been really busy with work :-\

[Iai]

I just don't really muck in with the proles in the normal forums.

[illmitch]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljWXxFnPhhg

beat is ****ing crazy

[HighandDriving]

Illmitch you listen to some shitty rap.

[illmitch]

[Rams]

I had some angry black kids point their guns at me last night. Is that hip-hop?

[Led_Zep_Bonham]

Still depends on your black heritage : /.

[Rams]

I'm a short white kid but I owned them like their ancestors.

[Correction]

illmitch knos his rap

[illmitch]

theres no pleasin' this guy

should i post a POS video or something, will you like me

[HighandDriving]

Ya pretty much.

[illmitch]

smh

[Rams]

You need to post Nas, Wu-Tang Clan, or Atmosphere. You know, smart rap for us smart people.

[SgtPrimus]

I don't know of anyone who claims wu-tang is "smart rap"

[JonG]

Lol

[prime possum]

I don't know of anyone who claims wu-tang is "smart rap"

you better protect yo neck bro

[sgrevs]

Can someone give me a good hip-hop blog or two?

edit: oh right just saw the blogs thread for the first time.

[illmitch]

I don't know of anyone who claims wu-tang is "smart rap"

the majority of their lyrical content isnt conscious at all

but they usually put in one or two songs about the struggle of the black god against the white man or some **** like that

they somehow get lumped in with smart rap

[SgtPrimus]

you better protect yo neck bro

I like wu-tang a lot, I'm just sayin'

[illmitch]

i def agree with you though. their rants against evolution in the beginning of wu-tang forever make them easily 10x as ignorant as say bun b.

hell, even rich boy has a well-made political song.

[kingsoby1]

so i guess i should listen to the new wu record... hhdx gave it a 4.5... they're dumb but their ratings are typically within a pt (+/-)

[illmitch]

...really? i heard the first few tracks and turned it off. how did they rate 8 diagrams?

[kingsoby1]

3/5

i gotta start paying more attention to this forum; ive been on vacation on and off for a while now... will finally be done after the 12th though. big interview coming up on the 8th.

my to do list:

- tally up the essentials vote FINALLY
- start an instrumental essentials thread
- start some kind of reviewing competition... winner gets to choose album of the week 4 times. also gets a prize or something, maybe i'll make a trophy or something.

[niobium]

still feel like doing a from the beginning of hip-hop til 91 essentials thread? or is that coming after the instrumentals? you have the right idea though it's summer

[kingsoby1]

yeah, i feel like staying inside or not doing productive sh*t around the house is a waste of time right now.

but yeah, we're gonna do 80s - 91 after the trip hop thread i think. been listening to a lot more of that stuff lately, so hopefully ill be prepared when we do it.

[illmitch]

okay i dunno the right place to confess this so im doing it here

birthday sex is a ****ing sweet song

[Jawaharal]

i def agree with you though. their rants against evolution in the beginning of wu-tang forever make them easily 10x as ignorant as say bun b.

hell, even rich boy has a well-made political song.

wtf is wrong with Bun B. Maybe I'm not really listening to the lyrics well enough, but I can't think of any of his songs where he says something really ignorant.

[illmitch]

i dunno why i said bun b, im a big fan of him. i think he was just the first southern rapper (who are usually the ones typically called ignorant) that came to mine. a better example would probably be like gucci mane.

[ATM]
